Monash students needing grades urged to contact union

Monash University students affected by union work bans will have to wait to longer for their academic results to be released.

The National Tertiary Education Union is withholding students' end of semester grades because it is involved in an industrial dispute with the university.

Students who needed their grades immediately were told they could apply to be exempt from the bans.

However, the union's organiser, Stan Rosenthal, says the union did not have time to process all of the applications, so those students who need their grades now, must reapply.

"It's a bit of a how long is a piece of string, we don't really know how many requests we'll get, at our website, or at our email address, monashexpemptions@nteu.org.au," he said.

"If they write there they'll get a set of instructions on what to do, which if they follow them, will enable us to do it quicker.

"We can't hold up every result at the university, we've held up about 30 per cent ... we don't want to spend our time processing somebody's application and they already have their results and don't care, so we're saying, if you still need your results, reapply from Tuesday."
